Happy Holidays to All Have a Cup of Joe

Hello, and Welcome to Chit Chat Coffee Shoppe. How is everyone doing? Hope all has been well with all of you! Busy, busy, busy time of year isn't it? Days are getting shorter, and not just enough time to get it all done. Friday I was running around trying to take care of home, me, son, hubby, and a sister who likes me when she needs something....LOL:) Normal family life, right? Then, after doing some of those things trying to take care of me, and my stores that I am selling with online. Not only am I trying to narrow my inventory, but I also trying to find time to repurpose some projects I have here looking at me too. I have some pieces done that need finishing touches of ribbon, some mod podge, paper, and so on. Just not enough time in the day right now. 

So, to relax a little bit on Friday with running I grabbed me a Spiced Chai Tea, and loved it! Hmm, Hmm, Good! Warm, just enough flavor, and hit the spot as I drove down the road again. 

Hope ya'll are ready for the holidays....they sure are coming fast this year! Thanks for visiting my Chit Chat Page, and hope to see you again soon. Take care everyone, and be safe. HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL!!

Good Morning Good Evening Havin a Cup of Joe

Good Morning Good Evening Havin a Cup of Joe. Welcome to the Chit Chat Coffee Shoppe. Glad to see you here, and that you could stop by for a visit too. 

I have to know...how is the weather where you are? Here, it has been cold, and yes it is winter time now. No snow yet...hoping that holds off for a while, but cold it has been. We have had some really nice sunny days, and thankful for that. It helps with the contractors that started on the house the week of Thanksgiving. 

They showed up on Monday, and started by taking the siding off the house and the garage, put a smaller window in an upstairs room that will be converted to a bathroom soon, closed off a door in our bedroom...there is no porch to step out onto, at the last minute decided to cut a whole in living room wall and added 2 new windows there, have the frame work for a porch on the front of the house, put a new door at the entrance to the house and a porch will also go there, and a new entrance door was added to the garage as well. Whew! 

Got wood in the yard to put up on the house, got the rolls of insulated plastic waiting to go on the house, and finally the siding can go on. But....with it being sooo cold at night would sure be great to have that insulation put on the exterior of the house...like yesterday. Know what I mean?:) Hopefully tomorrow they can maybe start. It's been a bit drafty in here at times. For now windows will get caulked, and then this spring some new windows are being considered too.

Ok, time to go warm my hands a little bit now. I do thank ya'll for stopping by, and checking on things. Don't forget to leave a note saying Hi so I know you were here. Also, when roaming check out my other pages I am working with on my blog too. Just click one of them tabs up there, and away you will go. Thanks again everyone, and see you again soon. Take care......

Chit Chat Coffee Shoppe Says Happy Thanksgiving to All

Chit~Chat Coffee Shoppe Says Happy Thanksgiving to All!

Whew! Where did this month go? Really has gone by, hasn't it? Holidays can be like that. Sometimes I complain because I don't get done all I want to, but yet it is good as there is time spent with family, and friends during these special times. 

I hope that everyone has some where they can go, some where they can be, someone they can share with, and pray that no one has to be alone on this day of celebration. I wish you all well, enjoy, have fun, and please be safe too! HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL!!
 

Good Afternoon Chit Chatters Bloggers Visitors and Friends

Good Afternoon Chit~Chatters, Bloggers, Visitors, and Friends!

Welcome to the Chit Chat Coffee Shoppe for LilacsNDreams!:) Glad to see you here, and happy you could stop on by. Don't be afraid, you are always Welcome to say Hi, and let us know you were here too:)

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend, and excellent time with trick-or-treating too. I would soooo loved to have done some things I had planned on this past weekend, but have been home sick. Yeah, over a week now, and still cannot quit this darn coughing yet. I so had some big plans for a "Girls Weekend" this first weekend of November with some friends, and yesterday I finally had to break down and inform them I would not be able to make it. Was very disappointed as it would have been a blast to go! Friends coming together in a different area, spending a couple of nights of doing nothing, thrifting, shopping, fleaing, and whatever we could find to do, and just have some good old fun! I will be thinking of them, and wishing them well as they journey out. Hopefully we can plan this again for us to have fun....spring? maybe? 

Yeah, getting cold here, leaves falling, NO snow but sometime it will happen, furnaces running, and that time of year when a person hybernates. Now.....if I lived down south I could at least do a little bit more as I would not have the snow to fight with. But, gotta do what you can for where you are, right?

Well, folks, time to take some meds. I held off a bit today so I could get on this wonderful computer, and get a few things done. Starting to get tired, and coughing....I think I grew another lung some where with all of the coughing. Still sitting up to sleep, but if I can start sleeping normally that way...without waking up coughing....I hopefully can lie down soon:) 

Thanks for visiting everyone, and don't be afraid to say Hi, and let me know you were here. Love to hear from everyone:) Take care, and have a super evening!:)

Good Morning Fellow Bloggers and Chit Chatters

Hello, and Welcome to Chit Chat Coffee Shoppe with LilacsNDreams!:) Glad to see you here, and happy you could stop by. Whew! Isn't that the truth! I would like mornings better if they would start later myself too. It has gotten cooler here over the weekend, 1 morning I turned the heat on for just a few hours to get the cool out of the house, and you know. When it gets like this out with the leaves following, cooler weather, football games, and all of that.....when it comes morning I would just like to stay in bed, and curl with my blanket. Or, sit in the chair with that good old hot cup in my hand, blanket thrown over my feet, and kicked up reclining. 

Not a whole lot going on this way right now. Just working on getting cars winterized....mechanics like me now:) And, getting the house prepared for it too. Days are shortening a bit, and seem to tire a bit more lately too. Gotta love it, right? Hope all are well with where you are. Thanks again for stopping by, and don't be afraid to share, leave a comment, or drop me a line if you feel like it. LOVE hearing from everyone!:) Have a super week everyone.

Welcome Back to Chit Chat Coffee Shoppe

Good Morning, and Welcome back to Chit Chat Coffee Shoppe everyone! Glad to see you here, and happy that you could stop by. 

I don't know about ya'll, but this picture above sure hit the spot for me the past few days, actually for the month! I am always slow to get started in the morning, and then by the time I do really get moving, and motivated....most of the day seems to have disappeared! Ever have that happen yourself? How frustrating sometimes, isn't it? 

Well, I am finally back to having a little bit of Me time now. This past 1-2 months has been soooo hectic! Daughter moves to TX, I helped her husband out a bit while he finished things here before she came back to get him....they both have jobs down there too (whew). Then, son signing up, and joining the army....some of the paper work, and records they need is amazing for this too. In between the contractor has been here to measure the windows, and then the landlord came with the second visit when they looked at the windows on the house here. Contractor back again to measure for the porch that they want to put on this house. Sister had a birthday to celebrate which I seem to babysit her and her husband, and played taxi service for everyone. Hubby had a birthday just last week which he was able to be home for so that we could go out for supper, and enjoy a beautiful day:)

Then.....hubby got me a new car for our anniversary. Nice, shiny black, only had 11 miles on it when I left the lot, and 3 weeks later a deer hit me on the side of it. Tore out the mirror after his head slammed it into the window, his body flew against the side of the car and dented in the back passenger door and handle, he dented the back panel slightly, and then his foot hit the wheel. He flew around the back of the car, went down in the ditch, and headed into the field. I have been wondering....would our insurance consider this a hit and run you think?:) I will be asking them this next week....LOL:) I am not joking, but this is the 1st time in all my years of driving I have ever been hit with a deer. Usually it is hubby that has a problem, our daughter, or someone else....not me. So, my first time, and with our new car. I had a rental for a couple of weeks, but was soooo happy to get the new car back, and try to get use to it again.

Having a cup of joe has been helpful, a cappacino has been great when I get that, and it sure has been tempting with other drinks too....after the way things have been lately.

But, I am back, trying really really hard to get things all caught up again, and into a schedule of things again. Been doing a little thrifting, painting, gluing, repurposing, and different things like that when I have found the time. 

Again, thanks everyone for visiting, and stopping in to see me. Make sure to check out my Thrift Store Junkies page to get caught up with some of the things I have found while thrifting, and then see my Second Time Treasures page that shows a few of those thrifting items that have been repurposed, painted, and etc. What fun!:) Take care everyone, and see you again soon.
